A student in an undergraduate physics lab is studying Archimede's principle of bouyancy. The student is given a brass cylinder and using á triple beam balance finds the mass to be 1.25 kg. The density of this particular alloy of brass is 8.32 g/cm3. The student ties a massless string to one end of the cylinder and submerges it into a tank of water where there is an apparent reduction in the weight of the cylinder. With this information, calculate the volume of the cylinder and the tension in the string when it was submerged in the tank of water. The density of water is 1.00 g/cm3 and the acceleration due to gravity is g 9.81 m/s2 Number V= Number T=

We’ve discussed elevators that are raised with cables, but many elevators use pistons. A pump provides fluid at very high pressure to the piston; the resulting force on the piston raises the elevator and passengers. For a typical piston elevator, the mass of the elevator and passengers is 2000 kg and the radius of the piston is a surprisingly small 4.2 cm. The elevator begins to move upward, accelerating at 0.80 m/s2. What is the pressure in the piston?
The gauge pressure at the bottom of a cylinder of liquid is pg = 0.40 atm. The liquid is poured into another cylinder with twice the radius of the first cylinder. What is the gauge pressure at the bottom of the second cylinder?
Bowling balls are roughly the same size but come in a variety of weights. Given that the official radius a bowling ball should have is roughly 0.111 m, calculate the weight of the heaviest bowling ball that will float in a fluid of density 1.100 × 10° kg/m³. weight: N
